There was yet another incident of racism in Serie A on Sunday as Mario Balotelli was once again the target of racist chants in Brescia's 2-1 defeat at home to Lazio.
The match was halted for a few minutes shortly after the half-hour mark and an announcement was made on the stadium's tannoy system, while Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi wildly gesticulated to the visiting fans to stop.
Brescia was leading 1-0 at the time following a goal scored by Balotelli, who had also been subjected to racial abuse earlier in the match.
Balotelli posted a video of his goal on Instagram after the match and wrote: "Lazio fans that were today at the stadium SHAME ON YOU!"
